VIRTUAL US ADDRESSES:
(Ireland) When shopping a US site, I sometimes use http://AddressPal.ie"> http://AddressPal.ie . An Post provides you with both a UK and US shipping address, and forwards your mail to Ireland. It costs between $15.99-$20.99 to have US parcels forwarded (cntd.)

(cntd.) All are tracked, and it takes about a week. Using this, I have been caught for customs about 50% of the time. In theory, if you were to buy the Addie LaRue owlcrate box, you could pay the US shipping to your virtual address and then the $20.99 for home delivery (cntd.)

(cntd.) This means you will pay $28.98-$33.98 postage, depending on box weight, rather than the $46.99 Owlcrate rate to Ireland.
Still not great, but every little helps, and An Post are a sound bunch of lads.

UK:
I& #39;m afraid AddressPal only works for Irish addresses, but https://www.myus.com/uk/ ">https://www.myus.com/uk/"... seems to be a good option for anyone in the UK? Same premise. Shipping to the UK would be around $31.99 instead of $52.99.
**I have not used this service, just seems to be the best from research

See whole thread to hopefully reduce shipping cost of the Addie box https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖤" title="Schwarzes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Schwarzes Herz">

(although the UK price using a virtual address might work out the same, Bec has a MyUS account and commented about it above)

@MisElizann this is what we were talking about x
